It would show more true principle in the President of the Indianapolis Sentinel Co., and the editor of the Rochester Sentinel, to bear their defeat f r director of the Northern Prison with ehrtstlan fortitude and resignation, and not go off into denunciation ot far better Democrats themselves. In this (Jasper) county, the home of Mr. Hoover, his Democracy is at no discount. Even our distinguished neighbor, the consul, admits that. So gentlemen, you will please dry up. Tour opposition is contemptible, and your declarations with reierence to tile political standing of Mr. H. are false.

In the matter of the Cipher Dispatches it would seem that the radicals have bitten off more than they can chew. Apropos of the dilemma in which they find themselves, the World reprints these: A min who had gone otrt fishing caught several splendid bass, which be promptly threw baea into the river. Being remonstrated with for this apparently foolish act, he replied: “1 take no interest iu bass; I came out to cutch catfish, and when I come out for catfish I want catfish.” A hunter, after long foltewing a grizzly beai in the direction ot its den, suddenly abandoned his pursuit, aud when questioned as to his mo live for doing so said that the trail was getting “too duru fresh.” A Frechman who had been to India being interrogated as to the pleasure of the chase replied: “Oh, ze ttgairehuntiug zat is a spoit magniflque when ze Frenchman hunt ze tiguire, but when ze tigair® hunt ze French man— parbleu, zat is quite anozzer z ngl* Lafayette (Ind.) Sunday Morning Leader. Our Nrrtiiorn Prison Directors. Perhaps no appointments made by this or any preceding legislattee body, iu this State, gives more universal satisfaction than the selections they made for.Diiectors of the Northern Prison. Of JOHN LEE, of Montgomery County, it is almost unnecessary to speak, as h 1 is well and favorably known not only thro’ont this Congressional District, but is fast growing into reputation throughout the entire State. Mr. Lee is proverbial for his industry, integrity and capacity. What he undertakes, he not only accomplishes, but in a manner that reflects credit on his energy and tact. Whether it be in the arduous duty of mapping out and building a rail road, or the no less difficult oue of planning and putting into execution a successful political campaign, he is equally as thorough and reliable. Mr. Lee, in addition to his superb business qualities ranks as one of the best speakers in o ir District. So generally is this admitted that his being the next Democratic nominee for Congress is already clearly foreshadowed. The selection of FEED HOOVER, of the neighboring county of Jasper, for one of the Prison Directors, was a Utting one iu every particular. His locution is so contiguous to Latayette and his acquaintance so general here, that his many friends in our city feel us proud of Ins appointment as tho’ he hailed from our County. All our people without regard to party, unite iu pronouncing his selection as one highly creditable to the appointing power. Mr Ho jver is a splendid specimen of physical manhood, in the full prime of life. That he will give strict attention to his duties, neit ter swerving to the right, nor the left, none doubt that know him. His business capacity, efficiency, probity and watchfulness combine to make him “the light man in the right place,” beyond all peradventure. The other appointee <s SIMON WILE of Laporte. While weareunacquainted with this gentleman, yet, his reputation as A business man is not unknown to us Many in Lafayette remember him as early as 1854. when he was clerking for Mi. Amberg, of this city, as u young man of fine business promise The majority of people who lived in Indiana during the war will remember one H. H. Dodd, who pretended to be a rampant Democrat und who made himself officious and obnoxious by making inflammatory anti-war speeches throughout the State. He was undoubtedly a Republican all the time, and iu the employ of Gov. Morton. He worked up the Knights of the Golden Circle business and just at the time when it would bring the ’most glory ,to Morton ho and several of his associates were arrested for treason. Do id mysteriously (?) escaped from the place where bo was confined and that was the last that was heard of him for some time. After tho war closed be turned up in Wisconsin, and now we find him telegraphing congratulations to Matt. Carpenter in his capacity of Chairman of tbe Republican committee at Fon du Lac. Mr. Dodd was probably as much of a Republican in 1884 as hete in 1F79,- Laporte Argus.
